Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Monteverde Cloud Forest!

A place on my bucket list!
Different than a rain forest...
A cloud forest!
And we were there...










Lush.
Epiphytes.
Trees.
Ferns.
Bromeliads.
Quiet.
Moss.
Orchids.
Vines.
Mud.
Trails.
Birds.
Steps.





Overgrown.

Strangler figs.
Tree roots.
Leaf cutter ants.
Fallen trees cut into stepping stones.Wet.
Views.The Continental Divide.




















Waterfall.
Stunning.
Amazing.
Breath-taking.

3.37 miles of up, down, up, down, up, down.
And around.

This is where we missed seeing a Resplendent Quetzal by 5 minutes...

And across the street, this critter, a kinkajou stealing the hummingbird juice out of the feeders.


Completely entertaining!
